18Doors Faces Major Staff Reductions Due to Budget Constraints
18Doors, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting interfaith Jewish families, has announced significant staff reductions due to unexpected budget constraints. The organization, which had 15 staff members last August, now lists only four employees, primarily in executive roles. CEO Mike Wise has stepped down, and the organization is currently led by Ellen Frank, the Chief Operating Officer, and Adam Pollack, the Chief Program Officer. The budget shortfall was attributed to shifting donor priorities towards Israel and antisemitism-related causes, leaving other areas underfunded. Despite the financial challenges, 18Doors continues to operate its referral service for interfaith families, albeit at a reduced capacity.
